This week, we have some news: This will be the last Feisty Tri episode for awhile and the last one from Kelly, Katie, and Joanne.

To mark the occasion, the hosts all pick what they're most looking forward to this season and then catch up on the news: Paula Findlay's dominating debut at Ironman Lake Placid, the latest Kona qualification updates, and what it means to be two years out from the L.A. Games.

And then we hear from Catherine Breed, who is now in the middle of a four-month swim along the entire California coast. We talked with her back before she headed out on the boat, and she answers all of our logistical questions — plus offers some long-distance swimming advice for triathletes.

You can follow along with Catherine's swim on Allez! Sports.
